This is kind of unsurprising, but still new to me even as someone who did Windows development (and some Wine API hacking) for a decade around when this W/A mess came about.

Windows is like the card game Munchkin, where a whole bunch of features can add up to a completely, unbelievably random over-powered exploit because of unintentional synergy between random bits.

I'm happy to see that they are converting the ANSI subsystem to UTF-8, which should, in theory, mitigate a lot of these problems.

I wonder if the Rust team is going to need YetAnotherFix to the process spawning API to fix this...
